❖ ００１ ; ＶＯＩＣＥ ⇨ ＶＩＤＥＯ （ ＳＥＥＬＩＥ ＋ ＵＮＳＥＥＬＩＥ ）

[graciousness]

[ the voice that can be heard is full of nervousness and skepticism ]

Alright, then. I know this is working, it worked for everyone else, no reason it wouldn't for me - aside for the matter that I do not know what I seem to be doing at all -

[ but then, video! at first you might see only freckles and then she'll step back and you'll see a young woman with dark curls, a purple, flowery dress and one bottom lip that seems to be busied between her teeth. ]

-- Greetings to both courts, I have heard there are two. I hope there are not more and if there are -

[ she might be offending someone. oh no. she'll take a quick yet graceful curtsy ]

to those who can hear - see! me. My name is Gunievere - Gwen, really. of Camelot! I - the fairies -

[ the fairies. this is so unsettling ]

I was told I was brought here to help. I will do all that I can but I - I am but a maidservant. I do not know what I can do, truly but whatever you might need of me, I am in your service.

-- They will send us home when our duties are through, will they not? I have other.

[ erm ]

duties! at home. I am already in the service of a Lady and she might be unsettled with me being gone.

[ and morgana being unsettled is bad news to all ]

--- It's nice to meet you all, I'm certain. Whatever I can do, truly.

[ Lancelot shrugs, a little shy suddenly. It feels strange, to walk so close at hand with her. To speak so easily with her, when in his heart he knows he cannot be with her as he wishes. She has devoted herself to Arthur. Lancelot can only respect that, even if he is not here. ]

Busy.

[ He links his hands together, twists them absently as he tries to think of something to say that isn't please do not get hurt please don't leave me please be safe. ]

Caer Glaem is a beautiful city, but it has much that needs doing. I am nowhere near as experienced as many others would be, but it has fallen to me, so I do my best. Try to keep as many safe as I can.

ACTION;

[graciousness]

You are a good man, Lancelot.

[ she says it softly and with absolute sincerity. there are many bad people in the world but some people are so inherently good that they give people who meet them the same sort of hope. she smiles a but. ]

This city is very fortunate to be in the hands of someone so kind.

ACTION;

[knightscode]

[ He presses his lips together, fights the urge to demur again. ]

It is not in my hands entirely. I am marshal of the forces, simply, and use them to do what I can. More complicated adminsitrative duties go to those with a better head for numbers and figures than I.

ACTION;

[graciousness]

It hardly matter - Lancelot.

[ she places her hand on his arm, remains standing for a moment as if to emphasis how important what she has to say is. she so very rarely treats her words with an air of importance. it always changes around a friend. ]

I am very happy that they see your value - I only regret the king could not have done the same.

ACTION;

[knightscode]

[ The king -- ah, she must speak of Uther. Of his exile. Lancelot drops his eyes awkwardly, flickers a small smile. ]

Uther did what he felt was right. I lied and caused conflict between him and his son. I do not blame him for struggling to trust me after that.

ACTION;

[graciousness]

[ he smile softens. many of the king's actions she never saw eye to eye with; this was certainly one of them. ]

They trust you here, then. I'm very happy for it.

[ you deserve it, is gently implied. ]

ACTION;

[knightscode]

I openly hope I can live up to their faith, be deserving of their trust.

[ He slows as they reach the wardrobe finally, gestures toward it with a tentative smile. Workers look up from their sewing curiously. ]

Here. Perhaps -- you can take the time to make something for yourself, too, as well as others. You may end up here some time, I should think a change of clothes advisable.

[ Also, Guinevere deserves a pretty dress. ]

ACTION;

[graciousness]

Perhaps.

[ she peeks inside, bites her lip. sees silks and fine cotton. How odd, to think of making anything for herself from these fabrics. she used to only love to run her fingers over them when she washed morgana's dresses. ]

Are you certain it's alright?

ACTION;

[knightscode]

Absolutely. As I said, you are a guest here. You are allowed whatever you wish within these walls.

[ He tilts his head toward it encouragingly. ]

Please. Enjoy yourself. I have no doubt you will find something to your taste.
